Financial Modeling — Digital Academy, Ghost Kitchen & Corporate Sponsorship

By the end of this engagement the consultant will deliver three individually modeled financial frameworks covering our Digital Online Academy, Culinary Incubator Ghost Kitchen, and Corporate Sponsorship Program.

Specific Deliverables:

1. Revenue and Cost Assumptions A clear, realistic set of financial assumptions for each of the three revenue streams grounded in nonprofit industry benchmarks and our operational reality as an all-volunteer early stage organization.

2. Break-Even Analysis A break-even analysis for each revenue stream showing what enrollment volume, kitchen utilization rate, or sponsorship level is required to cover costs and generate net revenue.

3. 12 to 24 Month Revenue Projections Month by month revenue projections for each of the three streams individually and combined, showing a realistic growth trajectory over the full project horizon.

What Success Looks Like: When this project is complete our leadership team can answer three questions with confidence — where is our money coming from, when will it arrive, and how does it contribute toward our $150,000 facility escrow target. Our grant applications become stronger because funders see realistic projections backed by sound financial principles. Our corporate partners engage more seriously because we speak their language — numbers, timelines, and return on mission. Our programs launch in the right order with the right financial foundation behind them.

When this project is complete Face Friends Foundation moves from having revenue ideas to having a revenue strategy. Our leadership team will have a credible, realistic financial model that transforms three promising concepts into documented financial frameworks we can act on with confidence. We will know we have achieved success when we can look at one integrated financial model and answer three questions clearly — where is our money coming from, when will it arrive, and how does it get us to our $150,000 facility escrow target. Our grant applications become stronger because funders see realistic projections backed by financial principles rather than optimism alone. Our corporate partners and major donors engage more seriously because we speak their language — numbers, timelines, and return on mission. Most importantly this project directly advances our mission of alleviating food insecurity in Gwinnett County by ensuring the Sugar Hill Workforce Academy opens its doors on a sound financial foundation and stays open for the community it was built to serve.
